Verge / Bitcoin Medium-term price analysis
Verge has turned bearish over the medium-term, with the XVG / BTC pair now trading above its trend-defining 200-day moving average.

Fundamental Analysis
In the medium term, the project will continue to face stiff competition from other privacy-based coins. The sector is becoming more competitive while Verge is losing the technological competition to large players, such as Monero and Zcash.
Conclusion
Verge is attempting to correct higher against Bitcoin after the bearish patterns across both time horizons caused the XVG / BTC pair to fall to a new 2019 trading low.
While the medium-term trend remains bearish, further near-term gains appear possible as the bullish MACD divergence on the daily time frame has yet to be fully reversed.
